This visual poem shot on Super 8 was conceived by US-based photographer and director Kandice Chavous, when speaking about the project she tells us:

"Icarus's Fall is a visual poem shot exclusively on Super 8, which is the personification of the fall from glory that Black men often experience in society. The story of Icarus is one that mirrors the experience of the Black man in America. As he grows he is told to soar to the lofty heights of society but often finds himself a bit too close to the sun and ultimately his success becomes his own downfall. This internal turmoil is represented by a heavy contrast of waiting for the perfect time and dancing in the golden light of his desired glory."

"The ultimate desire of this project was to showcase how delicate Black men are under the hard exterior they often portray. This is expressed in the soft hand of the fabric and finishes worn by the dancer after his period of self-reflection. The grand scale of the location speaks to the stage that life is performed on for society's approval."
